Publisher's Synopsis
Kingsley Amis stated that his writing was not autobiographical, neither a disguised record of his life nor a reflection of his moods and opinions. He was not telling the truth. His novels were his autobiography and Richard Bradford shows that they were often more honest than his ex-cathedra disclosures. Eric Jacob's acclaimed biography shows us the life behind the work; Richard Bradford examines how the life and the work were intriguingly interwoven.
